Empirical analysis of social impacts of a rural social enterprise
In developing countries the most marginalised and disadvantaged people are in rural, remote and regional areas and social enterprises in these areas – rural social enterprises (RSEs) – have been identified as key development actors in this context. However, their impacts are rarely rigorously measured. Our study fills this gap by measuring an RSE’s social impact in a developing country. A smallholder farmers’ survey ( n = 1021) is utilised in a p…
Drivers of integrated crop–livestock farming system’s efficiency for smallholder farmers in the forest-savanna transition agro-ecological zone of Ghana
The measurement of social impacts in rural social enterprises
Rural social enterprises (RSEs) represent an emerging actor in rural and local socio-economic development. The study of RSEs recognizes the importance of place-based actions for development. Social impacts of RSEs have been touted, particularly in filling roles in the rural context that are underperformed by governments and private actors. However, RSEs’ social impact measurement remains emerging. This review confirms that measurement of RSEs’ so…
Adoption of integrated crop-livestock management practices (ICLMPs) among men and women smallholder farmers in Ghana
Integrated crop-livestock management practices (ICLMPs) play a vital role in ensuring food security and improved welfare for smallholder households, however, studies that focus on ICLMP adoption in Ghana (including its gender dimension) remain scant. This paper examines gender differences in the drivers and intensity of ICLMP adoption using farm-level data from 638 smallholder farmers in Ghana. Employing Multivariate Probit, Tobit regression mode…
Administrative capacity assessment in higher education
Dissemination strategies and the adoption of improved agricultural technologies
Effect of Financial Inclusion on Poverty and Vulnerability to Poverty
Farming systems and productivity gaps
Administrative scale economies in local government
Municipal corporate centres not only perform multiple administrative functions, including supervision, monitoring and budgeting of the overall operation of local government, but also absorb significant resources. From a public policy perspective, it is thus important to determine whether administrative scale economies exist. Adopting an econometric approach, this paper investigates administrative scale effects and the determinants of administrati…
Impact of Labour Migration on Farm Efficiency
This paper investigates the relationship between labour migration and agricultural productivity in the Northern Province of Thailand. Drawing on maize production data from a household survey, an estimate of stochastic production function to evaluate the effects of migration, remittances and salient characteristics of migrants on the mean maize output and levels of technical efficiency was tried. Evidence shows that remittances and number of migra…
